”…Born in Russia, Olga Nicolaevna Porter made brilliant studies of art which she continued in California and Texas. Her style could be described as neo-impressionist…but more openly figurative and perhaps sometimes with something oblique or Bukowskian. Her cityscapes quiver with life and her nudes are more expressive than sensual. It is without a doubt this authentic and uncompromising expressivity, which refuses embellishment and flattery, that lends some of her nudes an essentialist quality. I do not mean this term in the way some people apply it to art, but rather, that within the intricacies of Porter’s images, the occasional flirtations and near abstractions, the essential always emerges. Beautiful paintings!”
